Department of Infant Education The Department of Preschool Education aims to cultivate educators and caregivers with a rich spirit and genuine skills to nurture children. One of the characteristics of the department is that students acquire specific knowledge and techniques related to child care, through not only the everyday lecture-style of learning, but also practical training and autonomous activities. The field of child care is the place where students interact with children, support the growth of each child, and nurture their hearts. That is why educators and caregivers with practical skills are needed. |
In order for music activities in child care settings to become “rich and filled with creativity”, students need to acquire “diverse, flexible techniques of playing musical instruments” and enhance their “expressive power.” Shujitsu Junior College provides students with opportunities for volunteer activities at Shujitsu Kodomo-en, which is located nearby, to develop their practical, on-site skills. We hope that students will acquire the skills which are needed in the field of child education immediately after graduation. Lecturer (Music) Mariko Akiyama |
